Starlight, Starbright

A grumpy alien captain. A stubborn human engineer. One ship, one sabotage plot—and one unexpected Christmas miracle among the stars.

Chief Engineer Paige Martin trusts logic, not luck. But when her colony ship starts failing in deep space, the only person who believes her sabotage theory is her infuriatingly calm Zephyrian captain.
He’s all discipline and data. She’s all instincts and grease-stained rebellion. Together, they’re the only thing standing between ten thousand lives and the void.
As systems fail and danger closes in, sparks fly hotter than the ship’s reactor. Duty says keep it professional—but when Christmas lights flicker against the darkness, even an alien bred for control can’t resist the human who makes him lose it.
